For post-apocalyptic, Fallout-esque, no zombie, Deliverance gang-like USA, this film ticks all the boxes. Somewhat over-the-top (how could it not be), yet entertaining enough (in a kind of nihilistic murder driven way), it's a relatively good film.
Some decent roles, a bit of character development, tense enough action, it kept me watching.
As this kind of film goes, there are far worse out there. My only criticism is that 'society' seems to have to gone to pot in a matter of weeks, and the degenerate behaviour seems rather rapid. But, hey-ho, this is the USA, so who knows?
One of the better post apocalyptic movies out there.

A smart drama/thriller driven by excellent acting, solid plot, and more-than competent directing and filming.
Instead of relying on 'action' and special effects, this French film builds intrigue and suspense whilst keeping it real and believable.
At two hours, it might seem a little long, yet it never drags, every scene adds meaning and develops the plot, and the emotional ups-and-downs are integral to furthering the story - not just the story itself.
As the plot builds you expect the protagonist to prevail, yet will he in the face of both internal and external difficulties?
Enjoyable, well-paced, this is a film anyone should enjoy.

While UK production values are not the same as USA ones, this show is lacking in some of the basics.
It's not well edited; there are scene changes, and plot elements that suffer from incongruous editing. Wait, what happened there? How did they get from there to there?
A lot of acting seems bad as dialogue is stilted. This 'may' be bad editing, or poor directing, but the actors often appear to be waiting to say the lines, not listening, or when they deliver them the tone is all wrong. Really jars after a while.
The story is fine, generic spy stuff but nothing egregious, and there are a few exciting/surprising moments.
Overall, it's watchable if you are not very critical, but don't expect a lot.
